My Students

Next year I will be changing not only grades but settings. I've taught 3rd and 4th graders in an ICT setting and will be moving to lower grades and teach 1st and 2nd graders in a 12-1 setting for the first time! The students are energetic, loving and excited to learn. The students in my school need love and attention.

I'm trying to create a fun, warm, and inviting space where the students can feel comfortable to learn and enjoy school as if they are at home.

Please help me create this environment for my students.

My Project

The game giant Kerplunk will help support the fun atmosphere I'm trying to create for my self-contained 1st and 2nd grade class. It will be used as a whole class classroom management. We will play the game Kerplunk until all the balls go Kerplunk and then the class will win a party each time the game is over.

Help me catch em being good...so these kids can have fun playing a game all the while learning!

The students will also use Smelly Spots to reinforce positive behavior as well! We need a variety of Lip Smackers and lip balm for our Smelly Spots. Every time they have an amazing behavior moment they will get a "smelly spot", the scent will be there the whole day through to remind them of the good choice they made.
